Orquesta Akokán
Assembled and led by Cuban vocalist José “Pepito” Gómez, Orquesta Akokán is a 16-piece big band collective of the finest musicians on the island, both young and old. It features all-original music and was cut live to tape over a three-day session at Havana’s hallowed state-run Estudios Areito. Areito is one of the longest operating studios in the world and where important Cuban records have been made. The album was produced by Jacob Plasse and arranged by Mike Eckroth.
